Company description

There will be a summary of all the JA companies on the event’s website.

Every participating JA company must submit a short description of what the company does and what makes it interesting latest on 26.4.2019. The purpose is not to write the business plan all over again for everyone to see, rather a brief description of the business idea.

Send the company’s logo in PNG, JPG or JPEG -form at the same time. Return the description and information with the form below.

Team picture

One category in the final competition is the best presence in social media. In this competition the JA companies collect likes for their own picture. Nuori Yrittäjyys ry publishes a photo album on Facebook. The album introduces all the finalists and it is published on 28.4.2019 and it is possible to like until 8.5.2019 at 23:59.

The companies have to deliver a group photo of the team for the competition not later than 26.4.2019.

Company report

JA companies participating in the final competition write a report of their own company . The purpose of the report is to show how well the JA company can tell in the form of a report about the own operation, results, plans for the future an the things learned and experienced in the JA Company Program.

The report tells how the year of the company has passed by in the sense of both economical figures and experience gained. The report is in other words a combination of a traditional annual report and the company’s inner reflection. With the help of the report the company shows that it is capable of producing a text document of their company and using this document to get the reader enthusiastic about the company and its operation.

The report must be returned not later than 26.4.2019. The report is read by the judges before the final.

Note that the report must have a cover page before the text itself. The cover page includes the name of the JA company, the names of the members of the company, the name of the school, the name of the teacher, and the operational time of the company (which you can check from the registration licence).

The report is to be returned in PDF -form. You can check instructions for saving in PDF -form here.

Business presentation

Every JA company has a four minute long business presentation in the final. If the presentation is supported with PowerPoint or a similar presentation (Prezi, Sway) must the presentation be sent to the event team not later than 2.5.2019. In this way we can make sure that the presentations open up and function on the computer properly. If there is any problems there is still time to fix them before the event.

The fonts used in the PowerPoint presentations should be the regular fonts on Windows so the presentations function properly on the computers used in the final.

The presentation must be either compatible with the Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2013 -program or a PDF-file. If you want to use another format please contact the event team in time. The maximum size of the file is 20 MB. The files are returned primarily with the return form below.

The purpose of the presentation is to give the JA companies a chance to present their company to a real audience and see how well they get their listeners to get enthusiastic about the company and its operations.

The presentation sums up the most important experiences and achievements from the JA year. The presentation should include up- and downhills – what have you learned from mistakes made and what have you achieved. Remember to tell about your learning experiences of the year. A presentation of the company is not a presentation of the product.

The structure of a presentation can be for instance:

Opening and introduction

Description of the product or service, its strengths and competitive advantages

Description of the JA year

Ups- and downs

What have you learned during the year, what thoughts has the year awakened

The economy of the your JA company
